Everyone’s heard of a pub crawl, but there’s a new way to enjoy drinks on the move. This Saturday, enjoy a ride on the Charleston Brewery District Trolley, a free(!) trolley that stops at nine different taprooms brimming with local craft beer. This delicious idea is the result of all nine breweries working together, providing a trail that winds through the Charleston Brewery District, located near the Neck Area of the peninsula.

The trolley began running in late February, and currently runs from 1-9 p.m. on Saturdays between the close-knit community of breweries. The route begins at Tradesman, followed by Edmund’s Oast Brewing Co., Cooper River, Palmetto, Baker & Brewer, Revelry, Fatty’s, Lo-Fi and Munkle.

Need advice on what to drink? Here are some recommended brews for each location!

Tradesman Brewing Company: Transmission Fluid Wheat Ale

Edmund’s Oast Brewing Co.: Bound by Darkness Black IPA

Cooper River Brewing: Barley Wine

Palmetto Brewing Co.: Huger Street IPA

Baker & Brewer: Lake Hopper Cider

Revelry Brewing: Gullah Cream Ale

Fatty’s Beer Works: Sea Dog Gose
